News comes from Spain that significantly cools the transfer trail of Alessandro Bastoni to Barcelona as coach Hansi Flick does not seem completely convinced of the Inter defender's profile.
According to reports, Barça has long been following Inter's Italian center-back, but the situation has changed in recent days, with the German coach setting strong criteria for the defensive department and not guaranteeing fixed spaces for any new player, reports "Gazeta Express".
In this context, Bastoni is no longer seen as an absolute priority of the new Catalan project as the German coach seeks internal competition and does not want "safe starters" without earning his place on the field.
This stance has caused the transfer market to "cool down", although the player remains on Barcelona's radar for the summer transfer window.
On the other hand, Inter have no intention of letting go of one of the main pillars of the defense easily, requiring a significant offer to open negotiations.
However, the situation remains open as Barcelona's interest has not completely faded and everything could change depending on developments in the "market" and Flick's final decisions.
In any case, Baston's future remains one of the hottest topics in the European football "market". /Express newspaper
